Teh Years From Now
We've been havifig money arguments at our house!' Not
the usual kind, however, because it's been about too much
money rather than too little. Bill, who's 16 and getting a pay
envelope for the first time in his life, brought the problem
to a hea'd the other evening when he cafne home and sat
down in the porch swing beside me and began to count his
bills.
"Look, Mom," he said. "It's all mine! Think of the things
I can buy with it tomorrow; things for you and Dad and the
kids, as well as for myself!"
"Oh, but Bill—" I began in a protesting tone of voice.
"Now, Mother, I can tell you're going to start a lecture
on saving, but this is my money, and I'm going to do what I
want with it."
"And where did you get it?" I asked.
"From my job, of course."
r. "And why do you have this job?"
I "Why, because Jake up and enlisted."
"To fight for his country.*"
"And what's that got to do with it?" my young son inquired haughtily.
"A lot, Bill, an awful lot. Jake is working for his country these days—for you and for me, among others. And his
job isn't easy, and it isn't safe. But if he has the best training and the best equipment in the world it will be a. little
safer and a little pleasanter. Now, it takes money to buy the
kind of equipment Jake and a couple of million other young
Americans must have. A lot more money than this government has, even when taxes are high. So Uncle Sam wants to
Tjorrow from us; from you, Bill, #nd from me, and from Dad.
"Because of this, we must save just as much as we possibly can. Even the stores-r-and the manufacturers who s^p-
. ply. •t-he>5tore&7n=aBe a*1sis*^u3.ao-do-th.'#-'*-An& we aiight'i*>fe»-
glad to do it. People like us, who can't do the actual fighting,
want to do something. If we deny ourselves luxuries and put
the money we save into war stamps and war bonds, we'll,Be
helping.
"Buying war bonds accomplishes two things. It gives the
government money to spend on war materials, and it keeps
us from burdening our industrial system with too many demands. Our manufacturers can't do everything, you know,
\ and right now when they're turning out war materials at a
rate no one dreamed would be possible, they can't do quite so
much manufacturing for the rest of us."
"That makes sense," Bill admitted a little reluctantly.
"And, of course, all the money you put into war bonds
now, you'll have, plus interest, to spend 10 years from now
when industry will be making more and better things than
ever for peacetime use."
"You win, all right," the young man announced, getting
up from the swing. "Wait supper, will you? I'm just going
down to the corner to put some of this into stamps." j
The War Isn't Won-Yet ■■
Those in authority have warned us that talk of peace is \
premature, that this war is not yet over, and that, the probabilities are that we have a long hard struggle ahead. But in
spite of this there is a steadily growing undercurrent of optimism. Everywhere you hear talk that the mysterious 'they"
who know everything say that the war will be over in six
months.
What war? In the West or in the East or in both? What
do they mean by "over"? From what source does this talk
emanate? It behooves us to-qijery sharply—whom will it
benefit to slow down our all-out effort? May not this be another piece of the "Divide and Conquer" propaganda?
The armchair strategists have it all figured out. Hitler
will collapse because of the internal strife in Germany. But
will the fall of Hitler end the war? Are the German armies
going to lay down their arms and throw themselves on the
mercy of those whose homes they have pillaged and whose
families Lhey have murdered in cold blood?
They have settled the Eastern question as well. Russia,
they say, will mop up Japan in a few weeks, once Hitler is
done with. (The armchair strategists last November had it
all figured out then, too.) They neglect to look at the map—
to gauge distances, to see what a tremendous.area the Japs
now control, how scattered and isolated are the forces of the
United Nations. It would be advisable if we would study the
map well and ponder on all that it signifies.
The war over in six months? What do they call the
whole question of sorting- out nationalities, repatriation, policing, rebuilding that will have to be done if we are to keep
our word about the four freedoms? This time we cannot
wash our hands and turn away. We have not only given our
promise, but I believe we have learned our lesson.
^ The war isn't won yet. Certainly there are encouraging
signs. We have found that we still breed fighting men. Let us
be as proud of the ability and courage of our armed forces
today as we are of those of' the past. But too many of us
haven't taken this war seriously. While our ships are sunk
off our coasts at an appalling rate, the dimout regulations to
protect them are ignored. While our armed men are fighting
in jungles, on the sea and in the air, recriminations and accusations fiy fast between groups in our own country. While
we are isolated by enemy raiders, our trade smashed, our
cargo ships sunk, we squabble about gasoline cards
Tlie -war isn't won yet—the final battle is the decisive
one. It is up to us to light the war to the end and not to relax
our efforts until-^the unconditional surrender of the enemy.

Annual Watermelon Hunt at
Swimming Pool Next Week
Director to Get Tossed in Water if Melons Aren't Ice-Cold;
Swimmers to Be Divided According to Ability; Hunt
Scheduled to Start at 7:30 on Wednesday
There is going to be plenty
pf splashing and shouts of joy
at the community swimming
pool next Wednesday evening
when the annual watermelon
hunt gets under way.
For at least ten big melons,
and maybe more, are going to
be hid in the depths of the
pool for those who are interested (and who wouldn't be?)
to go after "them.
Officially the hunt is scheduled
to start at 7:30 but undoubtedly
there ave going to be some early
starters ready to go much sooner
than that.
As in previous years tlie swimmers will be divided into gioups
according to their swimming ability so that even the youngest may
have a chance to find their melon.
And P. M. Tucek, director of the
hunt, stated that boys and girls
would probably be placed in different groups. There will also be
melons for adults if enough wish
to participate.
"The melons will be ice-cold,"
Mr. Tucek said, "and if they
aien't, the swimmers can throw me
in the pool." In order to keep this
promise he plans to keep them on
ice all afternoon until the time ior
the hunt.
Only provision which the swim-
meis must agree to before they
can start their hunt, is that the
melons must be eaten at the pool
and not taken home.
Between this week and next
Wednesday those who are planning
to get one of those watermelons
will most likely be keeping in good
practice, for it is to the best swimmer as well as the most lucky that
the chances will be best for finding
and keeping one of the big melons.

sugar supplies will be permitted to
obtain books on application to -the
local war price and rationing
boards, if,their excess sugar has

Registration Light for
18-20 Year Old Glass
Approximately Three Hundred Sign Up at Community
Building
July '4—and this year a new line of American heroes
stands out on the front line of duty.
They've never thought of themselves as heroes and have
simply gone about doing their duty as they saw it. And we
at home never thought much about their being heroes either,
until we read about Bataan, about Wake Island, about Midway and all the other places American men have stood and
fought and died.
' Heroes, every one of them,
whether they are in far off India
or just being initiated into the
life of a soldier or sailor. Heroes
simply because every last one of
them is not afraid to stand for
that ideal of democracy which their
fathers and forefathers stood for
before them.
From the dim halls of history,
looking backward, those who have
marched down through the long
years need have no fear that the
youth of America today will let
them down, will forget for one instant the ideals for which they
worked and fought ancl died, the
work it took to start this nation,
and know without hesitation that
it is going to take deep sacrifice on
their own part to keep it going.
Today the youth of. North Canton and Stark county homes, scattered throughout the world are
waiting for word from home, word
which will constantly assure them
that they are following the right
path toward liberty, supported and
encouraged by those they left safely at home.
And thus to every one who is
waiting for their return falls the
part of keeping them happy, knowing they are remembered and their
sacrifice appreciated.
Letters cost so little and mean
so much to that friend or neighbor
boy. To keep up the good work at
the front,there must be encouragement coming from home and that
(Continued on Page Two)
Registration at the Community
building on Saturday and Tuesday
was slow as approximately 300
youths between the ages of 18 and
30 signed the registration blanks
for possible military service in the
future.
This number was considerably
smaller than previous registrations
and did not keep the registrars
lushed at any time.
As yet the youths are not subject to draft but will be kept on
record for possible military service
in the future.

Keep Dogs Home,
Mayor Warns
Marshal Ordered to Shoot
Animals Roaming Streets
All dogs in the North Canton limits must .be kept at
home during .the hot months,
Mayor Guy Price warned in a
statement Monday.
Marshal Russel Smith has
been instructed to shoot .any
dogs which are found roaming
the streets, or off their own
property.
This drastic measure has been
taken in order fo insure the safety
of all persons who might come in
contact with the animals.
Since the threat of a rabies epidemic broke out -in Canton dog-
owners throughout the county have
been asked to , keep their animals
confined on their own property and
have them taken care of immediately if they become ill.
The dogs -should at all times
have plenty of water within reach
during the Hot days and should
have some shady or cool place to
stay out of the sun.
Proper care of pets and consideration for the safety of others
will prevent any rabies epidemic
and save the lives of people as well
as the pets.

Registration Light for
18-20 Year Old Glass
Approximately Three Hundred Sign Up at Community
Building
July '4—and this year a new line of American heroes
stands out on the front line of duty.
They've never thought of themselves as heroes and have
simply gone about doing their duty as they saw it. And we
at home never thought much about their being heroes either,
until we read about Bataan, about Wake Island, about Midway and all the other places American men have stood and
fought and died.
' Heroes, every one of them,
whether they are in far off India
or just being initiated into the
life of a soldier or sailor. Heroes
simply because every last one of
them is not afraid to stand for
that ideal of democracy which their
fathers and forefathers stood for
before them.
From the dim halls of history,
looking backward, those who have
marched down through the long
years need have no fear that the
youth of America today will let
them down, will forget for one instant the ideals for which they
worked and fought ancl died, the
work it took to start this nation,
and know without hesitation that
it is going to take deep sacrifice on
their own part to keep it going.
Today the youth of. North Canton and Stark county homes, scattered throughout the world are
waiting for word from home, word
which will constantly assure them
that they are following the right
path toward liberty, supported and
encouraged by those they left safely at home.
And thus to every one who is
waiting for their return falls the
part of keeping them happy, knowing they are remembered and their
sacrifice appreciated.
Letters cost so little and mean
so much to that friend or neighbor
boy. To keep up the good work at
the front,there must be encouragement coming from home and that

Registration at the Community

youths between the ages of 18 and

future.

and did not keep the registrars
lushed at any time.
As yet the youths are not subject to draft but will be kept on
record for possible military service
in the future.

Keep Dogs Home,
Mayor Warns
Marshal Ordered to Shoot
Animals Roaming Streets
All dogs in the North Canton limits must .be kept at
home during .the hot months,
Mayor Guy Price warned in a
statement Monday.
Marshal Russel Smith has
been instructed to shoot .any
dogs which are found roaming
the streets, or off their own
property.
This drastic measure has been
taken in order fo insure the safety
of all persons who might come in
contact with the animals.
Since the threat of a rabies epidemic broke out -in Canton dog-
owners throughout the county have
been asked to , keep their animals
confined on their own property and
have them taken care of immediately if they become ill.
The dogs -should at all times
have plenty of water within reach
during the Hot days and should
have some shady or cool place to
stay out of the sun.
Proper care of pets and consideration for the safety of others
will prevent any rabies epidemic
and save the lives of people as well
as the pets.
